Started in 1974 by Anne Waldman and Allen Ginsberg, Bombay Gin is the literary journal of The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University. The theme for the 2007 issue is Redefinition. In order to communicate, we must be clear on our definitions. However, our language has become euphemistic, our distinctions too vague; the power to enact change has been appropriated by our oppressors, and it is up to the artist to redefine the world if we are to “change the frequency,” as Anne Waldman has said. For its 33rd installment, Bombay Gin promotes work that redefines poetry, prose, translation, visual art, gender, race, class and humanity in general; that re-contextualizes what has been marginalized by the mainstream; that turns the language of oppression into the lexicon of empowerment; that challenges antiquated forms of literary expression; and that adds clarity to the contemporary world conversation of art and literature.
